in 2012 I have severe heartburn constant digestive issue constipation with pain mostly diarrhea too but I figure it was due to the constipation treatment I was do I also have constant clearing the throat due to post nasal drip swollen throat make I snore bloated whole body puffy water weight I feel like a macys day balloon float around I spend so many hour read everything online spend try different supplement for inflammation and stomach issue the eczema on my face and scalp was so bad and I research and treat that separately un ucce fully my bf hate the constant throat clearing and the snore especially when he is try to sleep so I go to an ear nose throat ent doctor and I was diagnose with gerd and put on omeprazole 20 mg per day in 2012 mind you the omeprazole help with the pain of heartburn but I still have all the rest I keep talk to my dr about the puffiness my test always come back okay except that my inflammation marker were always elevate I have have 3 different primary physician over 10 year and it was never address thoroughly I keep ask should not we find out why is not this an indication I have colonoscopy perfect endoscopy some minor glitch but nothing crazy fast forward a full ten year later last friday october 15 at 6 30am I wake up with the bad stomach pain bf was at work already my first thought was bowel blockage again and I try to remedy that no luck I sit down pain stand up pain walk it off pain lie down pain lefty side right side pain pain for some dumb reason I wait until 8 40am to call 911 and go to hospital by ambulance they give I morphine for the pain draw so much blood for lab work do ultrasound find nothing unusual except yet and still elevate inflammation marker my stat were all over the place spo2 88 at its bad blood pressure high 179 over something to 84 52 pulse low I see was 45 temp was normal although I keep sweat I start throw up but I was not very hungry the past couple week and was not eat much so it was mostly bile it was alarming to I at one point though when the bile come out foamy and a lot I will ask the dr about that my body was spin out and they could not find anything wrong they do not seem to know how to proceed or help I besides narcotic nothing I eat the day before was suspect I have no major lead in symptom clue to this seemingly sudden attack I was in the er until like 9 pm and they move I to a room I was take to my room the next morning dizzy with all the narcotic yet still in pain more blood test urine another ultrasound they even do a ct scan fine fine fine fine around 11 am saturday morning the doctor come in and ask I to sign 2 consent form for surgery at 7 pm one for endoscopy and if that do not show cause then they would take out my gallbladder huh what s that I mean I have hear of it of course but what s that get to do with my stomach whatever I sign the consent form when I wake up everything was calm I feel well my stat were back to normal I sleep the doctor come in maybe 3 am who know time is irrelevant with so much fentanyl he say he remove my gallbladder it was gangrenous veddy veddy bad he keep say rotten dead black the attend nurse mention to I how bad it was every time she check on I also the infection bacteria have get into my blood I was veddy veddy sick I could have die wth my gallbladder never show up in ultrasound as suspicious at all not even in er no gallstone cyst enlargement nothing it was a shot in the dark for he to go that route but what a good call oh my god and it was go bad for year from my first gerd diagnosis I have been live without it is function for who know how long nobody ever mention it as possibly being the cause of anything the surgical removal of the gallbladder is call cholecystectomy koh luh sis tek tuh I mine was able to be do by laparoscopy though I agree to full incision if necessary I have 4 hole hold close by adhesive steri strip right now no stitch or staple I can shower I was in the hospital 5 day home in bed with antibiotic and pain med 3 day bf a I today 12 day later as I write this I feel like a million buck all that inflammation is go after so many year the puffy face finger and toe now normal my eczema clear up my stuffy sinus gerd post nasal drip swollen neck and throat all normal even my tortuous tinnitus is well not completely but noticeably calm I am even think I can wean off the omeprazole finally well see so my message to you all is consider the gallbladder as a culprit push your doctor to check it if you re at the end of your rope do not just keep go for all the home remedy and supplement while still suffer the doctor can test and tell what vitamin you are lack it do not help to flood your body without a reference base on something you read online even if the suffering is not severe but you have multiple symptom the gallbladder must be a consideration there is only one way for they to check it and that is through a mild but surgical procedure which is probably why they never check but they must get their eye on it the procedure not sure the name of it should be perform on everyone in my opinion what they do is put you to sleep then fill your stomach with gas and make like an opera house then with camera light and so on they can go in and check all or most of your organ gallbladder spleen liver pancrea outer area of stomach bowel diaphragm right kidney maybe leave too not sure these were all mention in my paperwork there is so many thing that can only be detect diagnose and treat this way and this way only that is my story let I just add this side story dec 14 2020 my athletic healthy father in law notice blood in his urine other than chronic back pain it was his first sign something was wrong he go to the doctor he have undetecte liver cancer which metastasize to his bladder only when the bladder show its symptom then do they look he die 10 day later on the 24th the day before christmas have they do this procedure they would have see the silent killer and maybe been able to treat it why is not it a priority they check everything else anyway consider it push for it get it check | neutral | 1 |

a few week ago I find this article animal protein and the cancer promoter igf 1 https nutritionfact org 2013 02 14 animal protein and igf 1 where were explain that the structure of animal protein is easy to metabolize and it make the body to create more igf 1 it also establish the association between this hormone and cancer so the conclusion we end up with is we should avoid animal product in order to avoid cancer but it feel weird for I to hear so I keep research I hear that process meat and red meat are very associate with some cancer so I think maybe they have more animal protein and that is the link but in the article red meat vs white meat which is healthy it is present that red and white meat have a similar amount of protein not only we can read this but also the difference between these two kind of meat mainly myoglobin and iron I have not find any relationship between myoglobin iron and cancer so I keep research and I have just read this what do it do in the body and do it really cause cancer in this article it is say some people claim that igf 1 cause the growth of cancer because as a growth hormone its primary function is to make thing grow but the accusation is unfounded yes study have find an association between very high level of igf 1 and some type of cancer but no study have prove that igf 1 is the actual cause of the cancer xv many expert now agree igf 1 is not the cause of cancer but a consequence of it high igf 1 can indicate the presence of an undetected tumor and the high igf 1 level find in cancer patient is likely cause because the tumor is secrete igf 1 xvi xvii another explanation for the igf 1 cancer link is that igf 1 play a prominent role in the regulation of immunity and inflammation and the body may increase igf 1 level in response to the immunosuppression and inflammation that cancer cause xviii also worth note is the fact that high igf 1 level are associate with less invasive type of breast cancer in woman and low igf 1 is link to uterine cancer xix but they also include dairy and meat boost igf 1 level but we urge you not to consume animal product for this purpose omnivore have a much high risk for cancer and most other deadly chronic disease xx consume a whole food plant base diet that is void of process oil and package food is the absolute good way to boost your health and protect yourself from cancer you can safely increase your igf 1 level with plant base amino acid and soy is one of the most powerful vegan igf 1 booster I would like to have some explanation about this last paragraph because I do not know why they urge we not to consume animal product I am vegan so I do not eat animal product but I want to learn about nutrition so what is happen in real life with cancer | neutral | 1 |
I have stage ivc colon cancer I have 2 tumor in my colon and 2 small one in my lung as well as some very small unidentified spot I have respond very well to chemo my cea have drop from 8 4 down to 2 4 after 8 treatment my oncologist although very smart intern at the mayo clinic she is horrible with people I would ask she about cure rate base on the stage 40 for stage 3 10 stage 4 and was tell you ll always have cancer which was surprising in light of the fact that the mayo clinic johns hopkins and the nih all publish cure rate base on what stage you re in so my oncologist is a bit of a wack job anyway I was curious about other people experience at this stage it seem there is more success than doctor generally want to acknowledge | positive | 2 |

hello I want to reach out on some health concern I have been have for the past two three week which have spiral into something that s become the forefront of my mind every single day I just want to go back to normal I am a 38 year old male 64 a bit large in frame but I like to ride my bike a number of mile each week and stay active with my family full disclaimer this past few week have been a ride for I physically and mentally this might be a long wind post I am verbose in hope that someone else out there might have some thought or similar experience that might help I with my puzzle I am not sure if there are any piece that could have contribute to my current state another disclaimer I am aware I have health anxiety specifically mean if I know there is something potentially wrong with my body and its unknown I tend to stress pretty hard until either thing resolve or I get some answer treatment if all is fine with my body I am fine I am normal my anxiety is non existent life is good to begin my health other than the occasional stress and shift into a new position at work all seem to be fine just prior to the end of may 2019 everything was well and all seemingly normal which is where I want to get back to the last week of may 2019 my wife while help with a haircut spot a new and odd look mole on my back under my right shoulder blade it look hideous since it was late at night I call and make an appt with the doctor as soon as I get to work the very next morning may 29th the only opening available was friday may 31st have this delay worry I I end up call another dr I have visit prior for and he have an opening the on thur may 30th come may 30th at the doc appt the dr move quick he take a look at the mole and say it definitely look suspicious can we do a punch biopsy to which I reply yes because I want this thing off my body during the punch biopsy the dr numb the mole take a round chunk of tissue and stitch it up they show I the mole and I start get cold sweaty and nauseate I feel as though I was go to pass out I was able to power through it the nurse give I some water and I was fine I was tell to take ibuprofen as need for pain now come into the weekend that friday saturday and sunday I fret heavily about the result of this mole biopsy I was guilty of google thing which help none on that saturday june 1 I take some ibuprofen as my mole removal site have been tender my wife and I attend a wedding reception within a family member backyard it was cater with various dish such as thai food smoke brisket and so on there were some friend of family that roast a pig for the event while attend this event my spirit were down as I could not shake the dread of the forthcoming mole biopsy result I try hard to be happy but I was really sad thinking it could be the bad we leave the event and other than being bum out and anxious I was fine digestive system wise the next day sunday june 2 get up early and take the wife kid to a the store follow by a trip to grab some breakfast at burger king I have a breakfast croissant and bfast burrito the burrito seem a little gross but I eat the thing anyways after this less than stellar trip to bk I take the family to the movie to see new aladdin have sprite and popcorn is all that sunday evening we bbqd hamburger and have store buy macaroni and potato salad I have find a tender lump on the center of my back just left of the spine it was sore and I was remind of it everytime I sit back this was yet another anxiety trigger as I think maybe the mole biopsy might have have bacteria that activate a lymph node or bad it could be a malignant thing relate to mole this is where my mind was add to my ever increase anxiety that sunday night while in bed seem to be the starting point to my digestive woe as I try to sleep my entire abdoman churn and groan very loudly my stomach hurt all night and through the morning my abdoman was loud and achy that monday june 3 I awake to terrible diarrhea pure yellow liquid I have go probably 10 time that day I make an appt with my dr and I was able to get in the same day I explain the concern I have for the tender bump on my back and my gi issue he tell I by the way we get result for your mole it was benign I feel a huge weight of relief however I still have this bump on my back and gi problem he say the gi stuff could just be a bug and should be go in a couple day the bump on my back was a harmless lipoma and that I was fine you re go to live it was obvious I was really anxious I continue ask question so he say let get some blood test they then take a bunch of blood for a cbc and metabolic panel that tuesday june 4th I wake in the middle of the night with diarrhea and overall stomach pain and cramp all over also still have tender lump on back once again I google this suppose lipoma and learn there is such a thing as a sarcoma as you can imagine this cause more anxiety I also was able to see my blood test result they seem fine with the exception of two item lymph 17 2 with normal being 18 45 neut auto 75 1 with normal range being 42 72 of course I google this and find result elude these off result in correlation with a c word disease I make another doc appt which I was able to get into same day while in this doc appt I am assure that these off result are fine thing shift all of the time and this was just a glimpse when these were off I was tell could have been relate to an infection or stress the stress anxiety I am certain of I continue to mention my gi issue and the concern for the bump on my back because of my diarrhea and abdominal issue I have not been able to eat very well afraid to eat anything bad the doc schedule a ct scan of my pelvis and abdomen and a stool sample fast forward a few day I have my ct scan and my stool sample have been review I was able to see that my ct scan have been review by radiologist and I was able to see the report once again there were some concern thing here my stool sample was negative for giardia no salmonella shigella or campylobacter isolated and no plesiomona aeromonas or vibrio isolated I was really hope that some bug would be find so we could treat it and I could move on on to the ct finding I was concerned with what I see with the report I call my dr office for my doc interpretation basically there were incidental finding but nothing require any concern or followup within the same call I make an appt with my doc to discuss these finding which were finding there is no marker device localize a mass no discernible lump or mass appreciate posteriorly low chest small pleural

I and say they were fine these thing are find all the time in adult around my age and its common no issue need to be follow up on I still feel very uneasy I feel as though he think I am a hypochondriac and he downplay any of my concern with these result on my ct it seem like we might explore thing far but he say its a waste of money and that I am fine I leave the doc appt anxious and nervous the next day I receive a call from the gi doc office to schedule egd and colonoscopy the soon they could schedule my appt was 2 week out on june 24th fast forward to june 10th I return to the docs office to get the stitch remove from the mole that was remove I express that my gi issue have persist I have have yellow stool with ton of mucous sometimes have to go once or twice a day but also wake up in the middle of the night have to go he say we d wait and see what the gi procedure would find throughout this ordeal I have lose 13lbs in 2 week from not eat I have anxiety every time I go to the bathroom now because I just want a normal stool but its always yellow loose or liquid and mucousy there are time where I am convinced that I have pancreatic or colon or liver cancer I have end up have to take half a xanax from an old prescription I have hang on to which have calm my anxiousness as it is now I have been go day by day stick to bland food like rice cracker water toast bread and so on I have even buy some ensure to make sure I get more calorie as I have only been get 5 700 calorie a day my stomach intestine do not quite hurt as bad as they do but I continue to have dread loose stool or diarrhea once or twice a day still yellow and mucous all which I have read can be associate with serious issue like ibs ibd cancer and so on not know what is go on and waiting have been the bad throughout this ordeal normally I am a lay back normal guy husband father since the beginning of all this I have just been lose time of doom gloom dread think the bad is inside I make I feel this way and my child will be fatherless in 6 month I know its stupid and I should not think these thing my wife have been so support and I know she feel helpless but sometimes it just help I to talk I have a few day where I have a really sore throat gland swell on one side of my neck and back body ache and pain these symptom subside to some respiratory congestion and cough this was an add layer of unknowe what was go on in my body add to the fear and axiety conversely this gut issue seem to just happen suddenly so I can not help to rationalize it being possibly associate with anxiety or ibuprofen or a bug from some food in my search I have find that diarrhea last long that 2 week can be a concern which concern I only medication other than over the counter I take is losartan for hbp which I have been on for 5 year I have find instance online where people have report sudden persistent diarrhea I wonder if this could be contribute this past weekend my family attend the wedding of my wife family I do not want to go but I know if I was leave alone at home my mind would be fixate on my gut issue and I would be hit google freak myself out I take 25 of xanax and go to the wedding it was fun it was uplift and it help I to think about other thing there were a couple of occasion where I was hold my 5 year old daughter or watch my two boy where I have a hard time not hold in my tear it was just the whole event couple with these past few week that were choke I up I still get moment where I feel that I may not be here in 6 month I do not know why I think these thing at this moment I want nothing more than for a doctor to do a little more check to determine that I do not have a terminal disease I want nothing more than to go back to normal these past few week have been hell I wake once or twice every night and my mind just start race about my symptom and anticipate when I will have to go to the bathroom again will it be diarrhea I get anxiety go to the bathroom I

think have like 500 calorie and maybe a glass of water in the same time I end up at the emergency room a few night ago when I just break it was way more than the panic attack I would been have they were go to inpatient I to an off site psych place but then decide to just let I go home I have been able to sleep and eat a little since come home but I am barely hold myself together I just do not know what all this stuff mean for I and send message to my dr that take day back and forth is not help I would be so very much appreciate if some might take some of their time to help I understand cope well than I have been I am a 41yr old female I am considerably overweight 40 bmi which is a constant struggle with pcos I have lead a very sedentary life after tear the cartilage in both knee a few year ago but I should have find something that do not hurt rather than throw up my hand and sit on my I have pretty severe anxiety I do not use to be bad at all until a few year ago when I was convinced I die after sinus surgery I likely pass out or simply feel asleep but I was utterly convinced I die and was unable to sleep for day at a time afterwards it flare now and then under stress my dr think it cause ptsd and health anxiety I was give xanax to take as need I do not drink I do not smoke I do not use drug I do not have any heath problem really until this liver stuff well yeah maybe I do but it is something that was just being look into right before the liver stuff come into focus start late april I have a month long about with abdominal issue I have never have before bloat quick to feel full loss of appetite frequent bms some heartburn by the time I get into see the gastro doc take a month the symptom have abate I literally only see he for 3 min he do not do any sort of exam he tell I I have acid reflux and to take this pill he was give I for a month and come back I was terribly disappointed in that whole experience my primary doctor have run blood work on may 1st and although my liver enzyme have been elevate they were still within so I guess she do not say anything I guess the gastro doc do not think much of it either bc he do not say anything either may 1st alt 15 78 you l 72 ast 9 44 you l 45 alp 37 127 you l 90 bilirubin total 0 0 1 2 mg dl 1 1 the previous time my blood work have been do was in june 2015 alt 26 ast 22 alp 94 bilirubin total 1 2 so you can see the alt and ast a considerable elevation from what it have been previously I have a routine physical on july 3rd the enzyme have increase slightly more alt 82 ast 45 alp 81 bilirubin totoal 1 3 this time she flag it and leave I a message she want I to come back in two week for a retest I google why enzyme would be elevate I read about nafld and nash nash send I out of my mind I keep have panic attack my xanax was not help with I could not sleep I keep have the thought of if I sleep I will die like happen back a few year ago I was a mess I call the office and beg for a liver ultrasound now rather than make I suffer like this for 2 more week for a retest which will prob just lead to an ultrasound anyway I also tell they I start to have right quad pain in the last few day that was not go away so she order it and I go that night for blood work not sure why the blood work it have only been a few day since I have it and a full abdominal ultrasound I was hysterical at the test and the tech feel so bad she try to calm I say that she do not see anything so bad only some gallstone and a fatty liver I guess she think I was worried about cancer but oddly I was not it is nash that is terrify I well after hear for sure I do have a fatty liver I lose my freaking mind I could not get nash out of my head I do not no one do want to end up on some liver transplant list in a few year with end liver disease I can not convey to you the just true utter terror this have strike in I and my anxiety med are not help after come home from the ultrasound I lose it I end up at the emergency room when I start to scare my husband this was more than a typical panic attack I beg they to please sedate I so I could sleep I was so exhausted I have only have like 2hrs in 3 night they give I fluids bc I was dehydrate something to calm I and call a social worker to work with they in put I into some off site inpatient place maybe I am being a baby but I truly can not help it I would not do this to myself if I have a choice I know I am being irrational at time but that do not make it stop anyway they decide not to inpatient I and send I home whatever they give I finally allow I to sleep I have been able to eat since then but my appetite is definitely diminish I have immediately change my diet and start to walk a bit my exercise tolerance is pretty low so I will have to work up to more and more step I walk 2 5 mile yesterday but I think that is maybe push it after having sit for so long and I really still have not been eat too much I do not want to make this bad and I have read you can do if you lose too much weight too quickly my doctor finally personally call I after her nurse who is a sweetheart find out I have been in the hospital my doctor try to tell I that sooooo many people have fatty liver and this is a new condition for I since there was no indication of it back in 2015 she say that is good bc it was not much time to cause damage she say fatty liver is almost always reverse with a healthy die and exercise she say my level are only slightly elevate so it is not a dire concern right today she say if she have been worry that of course she would have say so but she really is not at this time even after the ultrasound she say she hope that see my gastro doctor next week to talk about thing in more detail will make I feel well she say the pain I am have in my side and back and even the elevated enzyme could easily be from the gallstone see on ultrasound she keep say try not to worry and that she will do what she can to help get I into some behavioral therapy for my anxiety bc it is clear the med alone are not enough I have a panic attack while talk to she she is ask I to try to calmly tell she what I am so scared of I tell her nash it is literally terrify I she try to calm I with rational thing like it is such a small chance and all that but really she can not know right now if I have it or not so I really could not be calm very much I have been barely hold it together I do not see the gastro until the thursday of this upcoming week that is like an eternity to someone with severe anxiety I really do not know how I am go to manage until then I have been try to hold onto the fact that gallstone bc that is a relatively easy fix right could cause my enzyme to be elevate but alp is commonly also in my case it is not shortly before both test I have very very bad back pain that radiate out from under my right shoulder that I have no idea the cause of the last few day I have have this dull but constant ache at my right waist level reach a little to the front and back off and on for week few month I get this bit sharp pain in my right side that do not last but I was chalk it up to poor posture do that seem to be gallbladder

I know this is go to be difficult but I am drive myself crazy and need some kind of answer backstory my mom was 53 year old and on august 24 2015 she have a colonoscopy on sept 7 2015 we were tell that she have a 10 cm rectal tumor with several met to the liver come to find out she actually have innumerable met to the liver lung and pancrea the oncologist discuss chemo radiation and even surgery and mention a 2 year survival rate if she do what he have plan she do the continuous 5fu infusion and radiation 5 day a week she die oct 24 2015 two or three year ago she was have so much trouble with her right side being swollen so swollen she could not eat more than a few bite without feel full they find lesion on her liver and say that her liver and spleen were grossly enlarge but say that it was probably cause by the amount of tylenol and ibuprofen she have take to help with type 1 diabetic neuropothy and never follow up on it question 1 could she have live 2 or 3 year with met to the liver from rectal cancer with no treatment I am ask because I am have such a hard time with the fact that we were lie to the oncologist actually admit to omitting fact because as he put it if I tell you how bad it was I do not think you would have go along with my treatment plan and I know that it would shrink the tumor enough for you to be comfortable she die less than two month later we were all hope for so much more time because of the lie we were tell and we do not have the oppurtunity to properly prepare ourselves I find myself look at her photo and thinking of the date they were take and wonder if she have cancer then was she silently being eat alive at that point question 2 how long can someone live with rectal cancer from onset to death with no treatment I understand that it is unique for everyone but I need a ballpark maybe someone have go through it or have research it and know the answer if it help we have been tell by the oncologist that it was a neuroendocrine tumor but the lab that do genetic testing on the biopsy say it was adenocarcinoma more lie who know at this point any help would be greatly appreciate I just really need to give my mind a break I feel like I am go crazy not know | negative | 0 |
